Identification of RCN1 and RSA3 as ethanol tolerance genes in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C lab strain and M2 wine strain

Wine fermentation presents a unique environment in which strains of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have evolved with superior tolerance to a multitude of stressors. Ethanol toxicity has one of the greatest impacts in reducing cellular viability and metabolic function and thus poses a thr...
